As someone who has many years experience with repairing and major overhauls of Boeing aircraft, and dealing with stacks of shims that Boeing used in areas like the structure surrounding the S duct on a 727, to make up for large tolerances in fitment, makes witnessing of the precision and exacting tolerances achieved by Mike Patey, all the more impressive! I am completely blown away by Scrappy. We are witnessing unequaled engineering prowess. I eagerly await each and every video.

I think the thing to remember is Mike is building this without a real timeframe or budget, public companies are under alot for time and budget pressure. Not saying it justifys their failings sometimes, but I'm sure alot of engineers at Boeing, ect, would love to deal with this kind of precision but the finance guys would rather have looser tolerances in favour of being able to produce an extra part per hour ect.
@wrstew12723 жыл бұрын
@@MrJaiimez I wish that your statement were true, but do bean counters really designate quality in engineering? Granted that Mike controls when parts are made, choosing temp etc., but surely the biggest guys can temperature control the machining areas, and subassembly areas. You just have to specify requirements. He does, they don’t. Simple? Timeframe? Budget? As if Boeing or Airbus are pressed for either as it takes years to design and tool to build aircraft. They neither lack either. Mike worked his ass off and created products that were needed, built a business that obviously builds quality products, priced accordingly, and continues doing the same. The twins have a booming business that can’t keep up with orders. Then he does super engineering and manufacturing after work and weekends to design and assemble a excellent prototype of a world class experimental aircraft. The biggest guys might, but not at the profit margins required. My 2 cents worth.

Mike is taking out of the box thinking, precision engineering and craftsmanship to ever increasing and extraordinary levels! Wow... just wow :)

I'm seeing Ron in more and more of the videos and I love it. Keep having Ron in more videos!

You know, your expertise in engineering is borne from years of experience and the depth of that expertise absolutely floors me. Especially considering you didn't go to college. (I assume. I doubt your ADHD brain could tolerate it.) I wish I could know how you got into some of the industries you got into, and especially how you went from a tinkerer/hobbyist to owning an engineering firm that did smart hybrid systems! Because I want to chase you down that path. After reading your brothers book I suddenly realize that I may have the tools (ADHD + Gifted IQ) to be just as successful as you. That terrifies me but also excites me because I consider you my ultimate role model. An absolute perfect superhuman person with all the same tastes, values, and interests as me.

One of the best moments of my life so far is when Mike liked my comment on the last video! Thanks for everything you bring to aviation!

Bend's almost always create strength. And where you are explaining that it looked as though you were using .050 sheet. combining that with machined Billet ribs and parts. wow!!

Mike I love to see your family working and enjoying the passion right beside you, it so awesome as you don’t see this everyday. Get back to work

If Disney ever does another 'Planes', I'd bet Scrappy lands a part.

If I were Mike and they did, I'd sue. No way I'd want my name associated with such an evil company.

Loving Ron talking to the camera.. so good! I hope Ron builds his own plane soon, he’s the ultimate wingman!

The quality of workmanship, attention to detail, and bling in places that’ll rarely be seen is amazing. It inspires and provides hope for aviation and restores my faith in humanity after watching the aviation soap opera of the Raptor. The polar opposite of the Raptor program and very refreshing.

We’re getting there, it’s finally nearing the end people. I can’t wait to see Scrappy fly! P.S. Your comedic timing and little clips are fitting as well as your tolerances 😂

Yay Ron! Good to see you taking some camera time! You got to do more in front of the camera. We all know how much you put in so step up and take some credit... we know the boss won't mind!
